saw this band sometime last year ( i think) in boston with a 17 piece orchestra. It was absolutely incredible and a rare thing for them apparently. So stoked to have been in the audience for that one. Really looking forward to this live release!

this band's records sound wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy to overproduced for the type of music they're trying to make.

If anyone could pick me up a copy of the new MLIW with any special covers they might have, I'd pay you with added $$ for your troubles

I'm a maniac for a free copy of Maniac! LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

what is it?

i feel old

what type of roll? I hope it's not sourdough! I sure do like croissants though...

I'm assuming that they're waiting on this until the current Vault subscription period is over (which is tomorrow) so that they can put this right on the front page

just use one side of a pair of scissors. insert. twist a bit until some plastic comes out. try to fit it on the spindle.

no, they talk about the vinyl specifically.

went to my local Newbury Comics yesterday and bought their copy of Maniac and it ended up being the white variant! Mondo must love sending variants to Newbury. I went to the same store last week and got The Raid and that was the variant too! Now to sell my black copy!

You're in CT? Where did you go for these items? I bought a speed box online, but definitely would have shopped local if i could have!

thanks for the heads up! stoked that this is on iTunes !!!!!

I think that's an obi strip...

Just connected my Pro-Ject Carbon Debut tt that I got a few months ago to the Marantz PM5004 that I just got in the mail yesterday. It replaced a vintage Harman Kardon receiver that I got for $35 off craigslist and that basically sounded like playing music through a dead rabbit carcass. This is the best equipment I've ever owned and I'm really excited! It sounds leaps and bounds better than my old setup! Really looking forward to receiving my speedbox s next Monday! Currently listening to Ratatat "Classics"

also...got the Raid Sountrack at my local Newbury Comics after not buying it online. I ended up getting the variant! Super excited about that!

aha! makes sense now. and thanks to the dude that posted the link!

tld;dr: will the pictured speakers work OK with a Marantz PM5004 until I can afford better speakers? Or will I be putting a strain on any component?

I don't see this on their Instagram....

I CAN NOT WAIT FOR THIS ALBUM

So I recently upgraded my turntable to a Pro-Ject Debut Carbon. It was an incredible upgrade from my $100 Best Buy Sony turntable, but it's also made me realize my other components are in dire need of an upgrade as well. So I turn 30 in a couple months. I've decided for my birthday I'll most likely be buying myself a Marantz PM5004 due to the recommendations I've heard on this board, as well as the fact that the vintage Harman Kardon integrated that I have is basically on it's death bed. It makes a loud popping nose every time I turn it on, it has a ridiculous hum to it whenever no music is playing, the volume makes loud distortion when trying to turn it up or down, etc. I basically want to go office space on this $35 receiver I bought off Craigslist. The Marantz fits my budget, and I also plan on getting the Pro-Ject Speed Box because I have a lot of 45's and hate switching the belt whenever I want to listen to just one of them. I'll be looking into blue jeans cables eventually as well as possibly a Music Hall cork slipmat or the acrylic platter from Pro-Ject, and then eventually quality speakers. So that brings me to my actual question. My weakest link after this upgrade will be my speakers. So, I'm NOT asking if this will sound good, because as has been said on this board, that's personal opinion. My actual question is will the receiver properly push sound to the speakers I have? Will I be putting a strain on the receiver at all trying to get sound to these? They're old Sony tower speakers that I got for free from my stepdad who was getting rid of them. I've attached pictures below with the specs as well as a front view with the cloth grill removed. Thanks for all the help!

the store has a pop up at the top that offers a 20% discount on your next purchase by just entering your email address and country. this has not worked for me for the last two days. anyone else? would purchase this with 20% off. Might purchase at full price because of how bummed i am for not ordering their first ep's when they were available online...

is there a ship date posted anywhere for the maniac OST? I haven't seen one anywhere

was SO bummed last night when I found out this was sold out. REALLY glad they put up the extra copies today. Can't wait to get this!
